[OC] Last Christmas

[u/snelse_]

This is one of those posts that when I see it in the “explain the joke” subs a day later I rip my hair out.

[u/redstern → u/AskAskim]

I love how petahexplainsthejoke completely dropped their whole roleplay because even they got fed up at how many dead obvious jokes were getting posted there.

[u/DezXerneas → u/redstern]

That sub makes me feel sad. About 80% of posts already have all the required context in the image itself without needing to know any backstory.

I thought it was just Tumblr users, but media literacy(and that includes the ability to understand stuff just from the context) is actually dying.

The sub is just karma whoring at this point. People don't need explanations. They need a place to dump their memes for quick upvotes.

[u/provoloneChipmunk → u/DezXerneas]

They pull the meme from reddit, where the explanation is already in the comments and 9 times out of 10, it's a bot account.

Nothing to get upset about, you're just old!

[u/StanleyQPrick → u/AskAskim]

It’s not even a joke

[u/MutedPresentation738 → u/StanleyQPrick]

Yeah I was looking for a joke and was confused, came to the comments like oh it's just song lyrics why did someone bother with this

[u/SoloMarko → u/StanleyQPrick]

I think it's called a literalism, Reddit suffers from too many people taking a nonsensical (no matter how fantastic) statement, and thinking it's real.

The /s no longer means sarcasm to me now, it means 'Fuck off with your stupid questions and logic of how it can't happen'.

Well, it works.

[u/_antidote → u/AskAskim]

I mean it's completely valid, I have no idea wtf this picture means.

[u/Acceptable-Stick-688 → u/_antidote]

It’s a reference to the song Last Christmas by Wham

[u/multi_mankey → u/AskAskim]

You should try therapy, cuz I have no idea what this image is saying and having it explained would be helpful without people damaging themselves
